A horizontally oriented paper folio is inked with dense blocks of black and gold script between two thick vertical red bands. A solid red circle marks the center, while thin red lines segment the central field. Fine script fills the horizontal margins and two outer vertical columns. The paper has uneven edges and a weathered tone, with vibrant gum tempera and ink appearing bold against the off-white surface.
